Max Holloway, 20, made his UFC debut against Dustin Poirier at UFC 143. Since then, “Blessed” has been a mainstay at the top of the fight game.
Holloway started his career 3-3, dropping that debut against Poirier, as well as a fight against Conor McGregor. After the McGregor fight, he went on a crazy 12-fight streak to the top, beating the who’s who at 145 pounds. Holloway won the undisputed UFC featherweight title at UFC 212 by knocking out the great Jose Aldo and defending his belt three times.
Three championship losses to Alexander Volkanovski prevented Holloway from retaining featherweight gold, but that didn’t slow him down at all. Besides his fights with Volkanovski, he has defeated every featherweight to step into the Octagon with him since losing the title.
